You can order this new icon in our Mounted Sizes from 4" to 24" tall and in the sames sizes in Unmounted Prints by using the pulldown Size/Price menu below right. This icon subject is available in our Cathedral Sizes and as a Church Banner. In 1917 the Holy Virgin appeared to three shepherd children, Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco, in Fatima, Portugal. Hovering above an oak tree, they saw a woman "brighter than the sun, shedding rays of light clearer and stronger than a crystal ball filled with the most sparkling water and pierced by the burning rays of the sun" (as described by Lucia). Holding a rosary in her hand, the Blessed Virgin told the children not to be afraid and that "I come from Heaven." The Virgin Mary appeared to the children five more times, always on the 13th day of the month, and told them secret prophecies about the future of the world and the Church.
